Virendra Verma (September 18, 1916 - May 2, 2009) was a Jat politician and freedom fighter in the Indian political sphere, born in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh.
The name of this school of music derives from Kirana or Kairana, a town and tehsil of Shamli District in Uttar Pradesh.
Another fable describes Shamli as a place where Lord Hanuman rested during his journey to fetch "Sanjivani Booti" from the Himalayas for Laxman.
